If I buy an iPhone 5 in the UK will it work in Italy with an Italian SIM?

Italy is not included on the LET chart and the website says "an unblocked iPhone 5 may not support LET networks in all other counrties". If I go to an Apple store in Italy and get a SIM compatable with the iPhone 5 it should work right?
Any info would be great! Thanks

ONLY if you buy direct from Apple in UK
Apple are the ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK over any model
All others will be locked to a carrier
The iPhone5 sold in UK ( and Europe ) covers LTE band 1,3,5 ( GSM A1429)
Don't know what bands Italy uses or has service on

If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

I have an iPhone 4 and I wrecked it. But if I get buy an iPhone 5 off the internet will the little card in the side for the iPhone 4 work in an iPhone 5?

Iphone 4 supports a micro-sim but iPhone 5, 5c and 5s supports a nano sim which is slightly shorter than micro-sim so you have to trim your micro-sim into a nano sim or you can get a new one

If I buy a iPhone 5 at the store, will it still be running iOS 6 or 7?

I want to buy the iPhone 5 (not the iPhone 5s or c) because it has iOS 6 on it instead of iOS 7 (which I do not like) and wondering if the people at the store still have the iPhones that run iOS 6 on them. Thanks!

It is unlikely that you will find an iPhone 5 in any store for sale.
The iPhone 5 has not been available for sale since November of 2013 when the 5S and 5C were replaced.
The only way to acquire an iPhone 5 at this point is via the used/refurbished market. Unless you buy a used iPhone that was never upgraded, you will not find one running iOS6.

You should read this: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/arriving/arrivingnoneu.htm
"If you bring in any single item worth more than your allowance [£390], you must pay duty and/or tax on the full item value, not just the value above the allowance."
The cheapest iPhone 5s in the US is $649 (+ local sales tax) which is approximately £487 - almost £100 above the duty limit. Therefore you'd be liable to pay 20% VAT = £97.40 plus Customs Duty of 2.5% = £12.17
Bringing your total for the phone to £596.40 (without including local US sales tax).
The price of the cheapest iPhone 5s in the UK is £549.00
Where's the saving?

I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and my screen will not work. When I have my sim card inserted into the phone calls go through, but I take it out and they don't go through. It was fine one minute and then the screen flashed and now it will not work. any answers?

I own a 16GB iPhone 3G. My father passed it down to me a year ago after he got the iPhone 4. I pressed the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone to check the time, and as I did so, the screen flashed on and off and now the screen won't work. Whenever I put my simcard in there calls will go through but I am unable to hear them, but if I take it out calls don't go through. I've tried charging it for a while, connecting to my laptop, holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10seconds to restore it, but nothing works. I've looked around and no-one'ed seemed to have this problem. I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone ASAP. thanks.

First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

Buying an Iphone 4 s overseas (Brazil) operates in Italy with an Italian SIM?

I bought an iphone 4 s in Brazil. If I wear in Italy and put a SIM of Wind, or Tim, it works? Instead I have a friend who has brought his iphone in Brazil and put the SIM in Brazil and is operated, so there should be no problem in Italy. What do you think

Unlocked means it can be used with any carrier's SIM card and service, but if not a carrier that sells and supports the iPhone, a feature such as visual voicemail will not be available and maybe others.

If I buy an iPad 2 in the USA will it work in the UK?

I am heading to Chicago next week and thought I might pick up an iPad 2 while I am there. Seems I can get more for my money. I wanted to check that if I buy an iPad 2 from the USA that it'll work properly when I get back to the UK.
Is the keyboard is universal?
Can I use my existing iTunes account?
Will it Sunc with my UK MacBook?
Can I use a UK microsim with it?
Other than the plug are the USA and UK iPad 2's exactly the same?
Thanks.

I bought an IPad2 in Boston couple of weeks back and it works fine here in the UK.
Specifically in answer to your questions,
the keypad is universal - just set it UK English in 'Settings'
my UK iTunes account works without any trouble - the Apple shop are keen to set everything up before you leave the store, so I let them do it.
it synchs with my iMac
I only the wi-fi version, so I'm not too sure about the micro sim
There's no difference between the US and UK versions.
A few other things,
I saved £70.00 on the 32 Gb wi-fi version. That included paying State tax, which varies - you may not have to pay tax in Chicago or it may be a different rate, worth checking and how much.
They might tell you'll have to buy a UK charger but all I've done is swap the UK plug attachment I already had from my MacBook onto the charger unit that comes with the iPad and that works fine. It will also charge from my iMac if I connect it (the Apple guy in Boston told me it wouldn't)
Remember the UK customs duty allowances.........

If I buy an ipad2 3G in the USA will it work with a UK sim card?

If I buy a US ipad2 3G from an apple store in the USA, will it automatically work when I am back in the UK when I fit a UK cellular network micro sim card? Many thanks

It should, from all the posts I've read. Just make sure you get the AT&T version, or more accurately NOT the Verizon version. (if you buy it from one of those retailers)
There's 3 basic kinds of iPads.
3G/Wifi with SIM
3G/Wifi with CDMA (think that's the abbreviation)
and
Wifi only
the Sim and wifi only will work in the UK with only a plug adapter, but the CDMA one is not compatible with the UK's cell system

Can i buy an iphone 5 in the US and use it in Italy?

Hi guys!
A friend of mine will go to NY the next month and i ask her to buy me the unlocked iPhone5.
Can i use it in Italy or it will be not compatible?
And what about the guarantee?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course, but you have to buy the GSM iPhone and without using a U.S. carrier

If I buy an iPhone 5 in Canada will it work in Italy?

I'm Italian but I'm going to study in Canada for 6 month.. I want to buy an iphone 5 in Canada but will it work in italy when i'll came back? there is a model in canada that work also in italy?

If you purchase the "officially unlocked iPhone 5", yes. This model is only sold by Apple in Canada...no where else.
Be aware: Your warranty/support will only be valid in Canada, & the phone will NOT support LTE in Europe. It will only support LTE in North America.

Can I buy an iphone 6 in USA and use it in Canada permanently with my carrier (Fido)?

The USA Apple website says for no contract, and unlocked is from T-mobile. Will it work in Canada with Fido (uses sim card)? Has anyone tried doing this? The states is a lot cheaper in Canada for the Iphone 6. What will happen to the warranty/support?

At today's currency exchange rate the US phone ends up costing more and the US warranty is not valid in Canada so I don't see the advantage of buying state side even if you do have US currency. As for TMobile - Fido compatibility I have no idea.

The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.
